Money for Love #2

by Ali Parker, Lexy Parker

From USA Today Best Selling Authors, Lexy Timms and Ali Parker comes a sexy new bad boy trilogy...

Tanner Bikes is now owned and operated by Alex Tanner and the Gamble Brothers. Sharing her father’s legacy was never part of Alex’s plan. Every part of her is screaming to revoke Declan’s ownership and make the shop what it was always meant to be–hers.

But her budding relationship with Declan weakens her resolve at every turn. She can no longer ignore the feelings she has for him, or for his daughter Mila. How can she honor her father’s legacy and continue a relationship with the man she’s grown to need?

Lust turns to love, but is love really enough?

** Please note that this is book 2 of a trilogy. There is a cliffhanger, and you will have to purchase book 3 to complete the story. Book one is on us to make sure you like the story before continuing.

That was one heck of an emotional roller-coaster ride. I love Declan and Mila and Samson, the whole Gamble family we’ve me so far, really. Alex on the other hand, is starting to drive me right ‘round the bend. She is such a stressful little ball of angst. I was frustrated watching her doubt and second-guess everything good in her life. When she finally achieves her dream, will she realize that it might not be the dream she really wanted after all? I can’t wait to get my hands of the next book to find out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Delving into book two of this angst riddled tale, Alex has more obstacles to overcome, and many are self-inflicted!
The maddening, yet sweet, spark-producing relationship that is forming between Alex and her business partner Declan is a revolving door of confusion for the two.. While everyone around them can see what is happening including my favorite characters Samson ( FLOVE LOVE HIM ) and Mia! ( smartest 5-year-old ever, I would be having her pick lotto numbers or something )
As this saga continues on my irritation with Alex goes up- BUT... I still like her character just not her choices. Fully invested in this dynamic, fun, sexy, heart of hearts story, I have things to do today, matters that most adults < looks away> would deem necessary, but I am going to dig into book number 3 right now because I need to know how this all works out!
I highly recommend checking out The Money For The Series!

“ it was like my body had suddenly taken full control. My brain was no longer working. I couldn’t think. I could only feel.“

I could now wait to dive into this book after finishing the first book of the series Hundred Reasons. This book will having you fall more in love with the characters. Your heart will break, rejoice, shine and ache again. I could feel the hope and anguish along with the characters as they try to stumble through new feelings and experiences. When I ”tried” to turn that last page I wanted to cry when I realized it was the last page on my reader. Book three ~ Making Millions can not get in my hands fast enough!!!

“ What if we could’ve had something real? ...What if the connection between us was meant to get stronger,not weaker? And what if I ruined everything by jumping to conclusions and running scared?“

Tanner Bikes is looking up thanks to a cash infusion from Declan Gamble’s real estate business. It seems as the business grows, so does the chemistry between Declan and Alex...but watch out for Mila. That kid will steal your heart if you blink!

In this book we see a different side to a number of people, most notably, Alex. Some of her sharp edges are smoothing and the change is a good one. And we see a softer, happier Samson too.

Great story building, wonderful characters and a story that will hold you captive right to the end. Clearly, as this series moves along , it only gets better and better.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This set will stay with the reader a long time and is honestly worth all five stars.

And, it continues. This is the second book in the series, and I couldn't wait to read it. I want Alex and Declan together so bad, but even though Alex is so strong in some ways, in some, she is so scared. Yes, I wanted to pull her out of the book, and talk some sense into her, but I guess that is up to her family and friends to do it. Mila, Declan's daughter, adds so much to this book. She is actually a very important character, which I like. There are some unexpected surprises in this book, and I am now waiting very impatiently for the next book. If you do not like books that end in a cliffhanger, and will be continued in the next book, then it is simple, just do not read them. If you are ok with it, then I highly recommend this book. It is worth it.

This is book 2 in the Love for Money series and boy does the story just keep getting better and better. Declan just wants to help Alex and to be honest he is falling in love with her if not all the way there. Mila his daughter loves her too but Alex isn't sure she's ready to be a mom yet. Things at the shop are going well and hopefully she'll be able to buy back the shop soon. What will happen when she can? Will her and Declan become a family eventually? What happens when a person is so afraid to move forward they just may lose what will help them be happy in the future? You'll have to read to find out. This series is so worth your time. I cannot wait to read book 3. Enjoy

[Julianne Macneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book, in this second book of this series, Tanner Bikes is now co-owned by Alex and Declan. Samson is also starting to work at the bike shop to learn how to repair them. Declan and Alex have come to an understanding with the business and start to explore their feelings for one another. Alex is also getting closer to Mila and becoming a great influence on the little girl. When Alex and Declan decide to start seeing each other, Alex gets doubts and starts to question if she can have a relationship. I love this series and think it is an emotional read. I love how Alex is with Mila and I think she and Declan are great together. I can't wait to see what happens next in book three.

I am really enjoying this series of books. Things between Declan and Alex are hotting up and they are also spending lots of together, not all of it business related. Alex has met Mila, Declan’s daughter and things are looking promising. However Alex breaks things off when she realises she isn’t ready to be a mother figure and thinks it’s best to end it before Mila gets more attached.

Looking forward to the third book to find out they can still work together, and if Declan can persuade Alex to rekindle their relationship.

[Tianna McPherson (Anna Lee) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this series is so amazing.  It kept us gu6and when we find out the truth it totally blows us away, Alex and Declan have so many obstacles in their way that they don't see what's right in front of them until it's to late. She can't find a way to be happy so she always backs away from what means the most to her. And Declan knows what he has but seems to always say the wrong thing. They have this chemistry that people would die for. I can't wait to see what the next book brings us. I happily give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

Wow!! Forging Thousands is a great continuation of the Money for Love series. The story continues to keep the readers on their toes. Alex is struggling with her angst and emotional upheaval regarding her shop, Declan and Mila. Declan is confused by his and Alex’s feelings. I Loved this book. It’s heartbreaking, exhilarating, raw feelings, angst, and so much emotion. Definitely look forward to reading book 3. Don’t fail to pick up this series, your going to love it!! I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy. Thank You ❤️ Ali and Lexi!!

Read For Author:
If there were more stars I would give it to this book. When you are so engrossed in a book that you want to scream at a character for making stupid decisions you know that you have a very good book. I am not even going to recap this book because I want you to read it. It continues the Money for Love Series you need to read book 1 to understand this book but believe me you won't in anyway be disappointed. Thumbs up!

[Modern · Rating 4 out of 5]

If there’s one thing about CH it’s the build up of drama as well as the development of the characters. In Forging Thousands, we see changes and growth to Declan and Alex. Both are still very frustrating and times but I know it’s leading up to the main event! I can not wait to read the last installment of this series! Pins and needles!! I received this book for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.

[Pam Washington · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 2 of a series, so you have to start with book 1 and read in order. And trust me, you'll want to get on board this ride. I don't know Lexi Timms that well, but I love Ali Parker and this is true to her usual greatness. Heat, angst, dual POVs, flawless dialogue and character development that draws you in from page 1. It’s all complicated right now, I'm totally invested, can't wait to read the next book 😍!

[Laila Viking · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a sweet romance that I cannot wait for the third book in the series. You have to read these stories in order to get the whole story and point. Love taking over lust and how to handle that - it is not an easy decision to make. Can Alex and Declan make it work with their attraction, his daughter and Tanner Bikes? I like very much to follow their journey and see where it ends.

[Shae · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2

The continuation was even better than I expected! As with book 1 the characters were well developed. The chemistry between Alex and Declan went from 20 to 100 super fast. Alex appears to be very hardcore but she is really struggling with her feelings in this book and it is amazing yet sad to see!
I can't wait to see what happens in book 3 after that ending.

Good work Ali and Lexy!

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Things are changing between Declan and Alex, and Mila's grown quite fond of Alex as well. There are plenty of reasons why Declan and Alex should stay away from each other, but somehow, they can't ignore the way their feelings are changing. I loved the way the story developed, and I am frustrated that it's a cliffhanger, but I am anxious to see how the conclusion pans out.

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good but frustrating read. I really wanted to force some sense into Alex. She was really hard to like and her choices were beyond irritating in this book. Still, I’m too hooked on this series and can’t wait to see how Alex and Declan will find their HEA.

Book two in the trilogy now sees Declan and Alex sharing the bike shop and their lust turning to love. Alex still feels as though it should be just her running her father's shop, can she get over it or will all be lost

I still can't get enough of this story, can't wait for the conclusion

I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

[Gabriela Bragg · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has masked me cry, how can Alex be incencitive, braking Declan’s heart and I can even think about poor Mila, I want to slap some sense into Alex. Hopefully she gets her head out of the clouds.

[Kelly Vidito · Rating 5 out of 5]

Forging Thousands is the second book of the series and another great read. As soon as I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's a wonderful emotional read and can't wait to read more. I received an ARC for an honest review.

Alex and Declan

I loved that the characters took me the reader through their daily lives. Ups and downs and the end had me in tears! So yes, my emotions were involved to pull at my heart strings! On to the 3rd book to the ending of the series!

[Debbie Carroll · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ali Parker has another great read, I've never been disappointed in anything she writes. Buy the series, you'll love it.

[Jacqueline Ellison · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will have you feeling so many emotions along with the wonderful characters. Alex struggles a lot in this book with her feelings from failure to love and then losing love. Declan is such an amazing father and his feelings for Alex are so evident. It does end with a cliffhanger but I can’t wait to find out if these two will have their HEA ending. Well written storyline, enjoyed the banter between the characters and steamy hot chemistry. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

These two are so perfect together. So real. Admittedly the ending had me a little teary (I'm pathetically emotional to be fair) but I know this isn't the end. I take comfort in that. Love these two. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book

WALKING A FINE LINE!!!
Talk about biting your tongue and walking away. Whew! This dynamic duo is topping the charts with this saga right here. Its maddening I tell you. You can't put it down and walk away. Nope! You push to finish to see what the heck is next. I find myself holding my breath when I can't breathe to start with. Wow! Talk about conflict. This is one series that has kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time throughout. You can't help but fall in love with the characters as they continue to grow and build as the story unfolds dramatically. The scenes are dead center on point realistic. Vivid detailed descriptions brings the full flavor of this spicy read to life before your eyes. Great job guys and thanks for sharing this little guy.

Forging thousands. This is a good romance story. Declan Gamble can't stop looking at Alex and wants her to want him back. They begin to get close after Declan helps her keep the repair shop. But she is still not happy his name is on the title. After they begin to share a close relationship and Mila is crazy about Alex, something happens to Alex that causes her to rethink their relationship. Declan says something that causes Alex to end their relationship and buy back the repair shop without Declan knowing. Declan is devastated and doesn’t know how he will function without Alex or tell Mila Alex is gone. *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.

Well, Alex is all over the place, and it's killing me. For such a strong women, she also a big ol scaredy cat, and she's driving me crazy. Talk about a rollercoaster, that is definitely the perfect term for this one. Ali has made me laugh, cry, worried, angry, you name it, I've probably felt, and that's just counting book two. Gotta go and get my hands on book three now. Have to put an end to the curiosity that's killing me right now. (Ha)
